Use the Fundamental Identities to Find the Value of the Trigonometric

Question 181

Multiple Choice

Use the fundamental identities to find the value of the trigonometric function.
-A wooden block sitting at rest on a flat, level board will just begin to slide when the board is tilted up to a critical angle of inclination, θS\theta _ { \mathrm { S } } . An experiment that determines this critical angle can be used to find the coefficient of static friction, μS\mu _ { \mathrm { S } } , for the block on the board by using the relation μS=sinθScosθS\mu _ { \mathrm { S } } = \frac { \sin \theta _ { \mathrm { S } } } { \cos \theta _ { \mathrm { S } } } . Rewrite this relation using a quotient identity.


A) μS=secθS\mu _ { \mathrm { S } } = \sec \theta _ { \mathrm { S } }
B) μs=cotθs\mu _ { \mathrm { s } } = \cot \theta _ { \mathrm { s } }
C) μs=tan2θs\mu _ { \mathrm { s } } = \tan ^ { 2 } \theta _ { \mathrm { s } }
D) μs=tan\mu _ { \mathrm { s } } = \tan
